It’s just not worth it for eichel imo. And it makes no sense, this trade wouldn’t make the pens any better tbh

what universe is Mccann a top 6 center? just wondering .... bc i see him as a solid 3c but i promise you that the vast majority dont see Mccann as a 2c.. example would be a guy like Kuzy is a great top 6 center. imo cap hit mixed with the lack of a great prospect kills this deal... maybe if the Penguins didnt trade Addison and the 15oa they would have some good assets but Poulin is like a c+ b? since being drafted h looks like he took a step back?
